Ouleout Valley Cemetery – Delaware County – United States

Ouleout Valley Cemetery is located on State Route 357 just east of the Village of Franklin in the Town of Franklin, Delaware County, New York. The Ouleout Valley Cemetery Association was organized on November 19, 1873, and the cemetery occupies land near Ouleout Creek. Its grounds feature a stone wall built in 1889–1890, an ornamental iron gate donated by Elizabeth Wilcox, and a fountain installed in 1884 through the gift of Erastus Edgerton; the fountain was restored in 2023. The cemetery contains veterans’ graves, including those of men who served as far back as the War of 1812, and hosts annual Memorial Day decoration by the local American Legion. Documented burials include photographer and child-labor investigator Lewis Hine, Fresh Air Fund organizer Reverend Willard Parsons, and McCall’s magazine founder James McCall. Cemetery inquiries may be directed to the association at its Franklin mailing address or by telephone. ([ouleoutvalleycemetery.org](https://ouleoutvalleycemetery.org/history/?utm_source=openai))
